that no reduction Of duties WIN be
made, but the manufacturing demand
does not answer expectations. Il
The dry goods trade is very moderate
in all branches, and is particularly
dull in woOlens, and the stiffness in
cottons is attributed to scarcity OF
ready supplies rather than to large
fresh orders.
The boot and shoe trade improves,
with better western and good eastern
business, and the leather market still
favors buyers.
Curtailment in pork packing is given
as a reason for the speculative strength
in pork products, though hogs are
lower.
Breadstuffs have declined; wheat
about 81 cents during the past week,
corn q cents and oats fraction.
The exports of wheat and -four for
the five months ending with November,
fell below those of the corresponding
months last year, and the decrease
which appears in November, II contin-
ued through the crop year, would leave
large unsold surplus to be carried
over July 1st.,
Oil has not materially changed.
Cotton is a shade stronger.
No lack OF money checks speculative
activity. On call the supply is abund-
ant and the large demand for money
on time is now fairly met. Interior
reports all indicate less monetary
pressure, though the market at some
points is still close. Complaints of
slow collections continue, but are less
general. The past pressure is reflect
ed, however, in an unusually large
number of failures.
Foreign trade improves, though the
figures and the course of foreign
exchange indicate that foreign
capital still moves to this country
rather than out of it.
The stock market has declined on
the average about 20 C per share, and
grows dull.
The business failures during the last
seven days number for the United
States 254, and for Canada "a, or total
of 288, as against 254 last week, and
3SS for the corresponding week OF last
year.

Ell DORADO, Kas., Dec. 15.-From
certain movements of gentlemen who
are well posted, it appears that there is
being secretly organized an immense
scheme to make raid on Oklahoma in
the early spring. This movement ex-
tends over two or three states, the ar
rangement being that the way to open
the Indian Territory to settlement is
to open it. They say that loo, 600 men
will go into the the territory at a given
date and the government has not
enough troops to keep them out. One

DUNE weekly Revisvv.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-R. G. Dun s.
Co. in their weekly review of trade,
say there is clear, though a moderate
improvement IN the commercial and
industrial outlook, mainly due to q
growing confidence that congress will
finally do nothing prejudicial to bust
ness interests. At the same time it
is in many points observed that
uncertainty in regard to the action of
congress tends to restrict purchases,
and contributes to the weakness in
some markets. Monetary anxieties d.
minish and speculation in products
abates.
Iron production, by many considered
a reliable barometer of business, falls
q little below the unprecedented out
put of November LIST. 1t Is held that

What Am To Do2

The sysptoms Of Biliousness are
unhappily but to well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and furred,
it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
of order and Diarrhea or Constipation
may be a symptom or the two may
alternate. There are often Hemor-
rhCds or even loss of blood. There
may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or fiatulence and tenderness
in the it of the stomach. To correct

SKIN DISEASES.

an infant six months old was attacked with o
virulent, maligant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies failing, we called our family phyei-
clan, who attempted to cure it; but it spread
with almost Incredible rapidity, until the
lower portion of the little fellows person,
from the middle of his back down to his knees,
was one solid rash, ugly, painful, blotched
and malicious. We had no rest at night, no
peace by day. Finally. we were advised to try
ply marvellous. in three four weeks q
complete cure was wrought, leaving the little
fellows person as white and healthy as though
he had never been attacked. in my opinion
your valuable remedies saved his life, and TO
day he is q strong, healthy child, perfectly
well. no repetition of the disease having ever
occurred.
